Every week, tons of new books hit the stands, each with potential. Some live up to that potential. We pick the ones we think have the best shot at heating up. Here are the picks of the week for delivery this Wednesday
What’s up Wednesday Warriors? Very small week this week. Here is what is on tap:
New Series
Jumpscare #1 – From the co-creator of The Sixth Gun and Harrow County comes a new action horror superhero event that ties into the hit Beyond Mortal series! In a world rife with crime, horror, and bloodshed, Jumpscare is the hero we deserve! Strong, fast, violent, and able to conjure any weapon from any horror movie she’s seen (and she’s seen a lot of horror movies), Jumpscare hacks her way through ne’er-do-wells and monsters alike. Not only is she the bloodiest hero of Empire City-she is the most popular! No wonder her enemies want her dead.
Red Hulk #1 – THUNDERBOLT ROSS – in a cell deep below the ground – is a prisoner of DOCTOR DOOM And he is not alone. Brilliant military, criminal and political minds have been gathered against their will in a prison complex that serves as a “THINK TANK” to help carry out Doom’s plan for global domination. But the RED HULK has other plans!
For the Cover
Superman #23 Dave Johnson Card Stock Variant Cover – These covers have been awesome. Just a fun retro cover.
Rogue The Savage Land #1 2nd Ptg Adam Hughes Variant Cover – Great Hughes cover, previously was foil but being used for the second printing cheaper.
One and Done
Chilling Adventures Presents Nine Lives Of Salem #1 – More Archie horror. Love it. Even with nine lives, can you ever truly outrun the horrors in your past? What happens when those familiar faces finally catch up to you? These are the questions Salem, Sabrina’s felonious feline, is asking himself… and he fears the answers.
Notable Reprints
Daredevil #1 Facsimile Edition – First appearance of Daredevil gets a facsimile.
Small Press Pick of the Week
Pop Kill #1 – Jimmy Palmiotti’s Kickstarted series finally gets released open order. Some great covers. Imagine a world where the two dominant and competing Cola companies, each worth billions, are owned by former Siamese twins who are now separated and have grown to hate each other so much they hire assassins, saboteurs, and espionage personnel to meddle with each other on a daily basis. This is the story about brotherly love run afoul, and the people they enlist to do their dirty work.
Pick of the Week
Sabretooth The Dead Dont Talk #3 – Slower week, but this is a cool new character, that if used again, could turn out to be pretty cool. New hero Dragonfire appears, this is a potential Iron Fist from the early 1900’s. Cool character design.
